I've got a dead pixel. :(

Atleast its on my external though. It's red.. I can only see it on darker backgrounds.. any ideas on how to try to get rid of it?

the pixel isn't really dead. it's just stuck, and you have to help him find his way.

this might help.

You can also try this.

Just noticed I have a green one too. I'm glad these aren't on the macbook! Running JScreenFix atm.. will try stucksweep if this doesnt work

 

[WillJS]

Jscreenfix didn't work. Does that leave much hope for stucksweep?

 

[siurpeeman]

did you try the non-software fixes?

Over the last several years, I've had a number of dead pixels on various displays, and I have tried every method and never been able to fix one.

Yes. Looks like a good excuse to buy that 200$ 22" Viewsonic.

Yup, fantastic excuse. Those 22" Viewsonic monitors are great, I've got no dead or stuck pixels on mine.
